Nine is the biggest number written with one digit, so it feels like a milestone before 10. A tic-tac-toe board has nine squares, and a baseball team has nine players on the field, which gives sporty kids something to picture. Ask your child how many more they need to reach 10. Children often say the 9 looks like a balloon on a string or a lollipop.
Since 6 and 9 are easy to mix up, color them side by side in two different colors and talk about which way each one faces. Point out that the 6 has its loop at the bottom and the 9 at the top.
